Hi,

You look to be adding more than the challenge requires. You should have something like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
      <button type="submit">Submit Comment</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Hope that helps :)

Plus, the

<input type="submit">

is not closed like this:

<input type="submit" />

and the form is in the head, not the body where it belongs.

It did! Thanks so much!

No problem :)
